Description

Welcome to Getting Started with React Hooks!

This course offers a comprehensive overview of React Hooks, the latest feature introduced in the popular React library for building dynamic front end interfaces.

A hook is a plain jаvascript function that "hooks" into existing React features like state, lifecycle methods, and context. In the official documentation, the core React team writes that, in due time, they "expect Hooks to be the primary way people write React components".

Getting Started with React Hooks begins with the essentials and proceeds to more complex topics including:

The useState hook

The useEffect hook

The useContext hook

Custom hooks

In addition to hooks, the course is packed with optional lessons to enhance your knowledge of core jаvascript and React concepts. These topics include:

Stateless functional and class-based React components

Lifecycle methods

Array and object destructuring

Closures

Event Listeners

The React Context API

No matter your skill level, the content is designed to get you up to speed on React Hooks as quickly as possible.
